I'll surprise everyone here by saying "meh"... I agree with the take Rebel has on this.
We had one transfer spot in this next class. The idea in our recruiting is to get good 3 star and lower 4 star players (the Hunts, Brown, Foster, Moore type), and then supplement that with high end athletic players in the transfer market (Moore, Semi, Gu, Whitt, Mike). Moore, Gu, and Mike were starters before transferring. Semi was a very highly ranked recruit. Whitt was well-regarded recruit and very athletic. Isiah, on the other hand, is they type of player I would like to see us recruit in a typical recruiting class.
If this is an indication that Ray is not going to be able to play anymore and we have an extra scholarship, then yes, this is a good pickup and will add depth down low.
However, if not, I think we only have a spot for one transfer next year, and I'd rather it be a high-end guard to step in for Whitt when he graduates.
